Fall Flats Fishing: Sight Casting & Fly Action Despite Rain

New and I headed out early morning in fall for some flats fishing action. Cloudy skies rolled in with rain throughout the day, and we dealt with Iceland water conditions. We focused on sight fishing and fly fishing while poling around the productive flats.

We worked the shallows using sight fishing techniques combined with fly fishing presentations. The poling allowed us to move quietly through the area and position ourselves for the best shots. This location works well for these methods because the flats provide ideal conditions for spotting fish and making precise casts. We didn't stick a trophy on this run, but every cast and minute on the water was worth it.
